3. Disconnected Environments
Not everyone has internet access?
How many of you run disconnected today?
Many customers run the Esri Web GIS software stack with no access to internet resources.
No access to AGOL Base Maps
No access to
No access to a lot of cool stuff, e.g. GeoEnrichment Services or ArcGIS API for JavaScript Web Optimizer
Security often dictates running disconnected environments.
Disconnected environments create unique challenges that need to be addressed in order to take full advantage of on-premises Web GIS.

4. Portal for ArcGIS Content Considerations

5. Custom Basemaps in Portal for ArcGIS
Where will your Basemaps come from?
Add a cached service to Portal map viewer
Save Web Map as a new item and share with Everyone
Add item to a custom public group
Select custom group in the Basemap gallery option and select a default Basemap
Esri Commercial Data Appliance (CDA) offers AGOL Basemap capabilities
Basemaps

6. On-premises Utility Services in Portal
There are a number of Portal Utility Services that bring a lot of functionality to your on-premises Portal. Some of them include:
Printing – Enables enhanced printing capabilities from Portal Web Map Viewer, Web Application Templates, and Web AppBuilder
Geocoding – Allows for address and place name finding, suggestions as you are typing in an address, and batch geocoding of drag/drop CSVs of address information.
Geometry – Enables certain geometry operations needed within the Portal framework
Routing – Find shortest paths between 2 or more addresses

7. Enabling On-premises Utility Services in Portal
Printing – Enable the Print Service of an ArcGIS Server and use the Export Web Map Task.
Geocoding - ArcGIS Online World Geocode Service is unavailable in disconnected environments
Utilize Esri Streetmap Premium Geocode Services published on-premises
World Geocode Service on-premises coming soon!
Custom Geocoding Service
Geometry – Utilize the Geometry Services of an on-premises ArcGIS Server
Routing – ArcGIS Online Routing Service is unavailable in disconnected environments.

8. Portal for ArcGIS Back-end Considerations

9. config.js
What is this?
Located at <Portal Install Directory>\customizations\10.4.1\webapps\arcgis#home\js\arcgisonline
Detailed in the Portal Administrator Help
Provides additional configuration of the Portal UI
You may want to do this if you're configuring a disconnected deployment or modifying the portal's behavior to match the requirements of your organization
Use extreme caution when editing; always make a backup!

12. Updating which Language Content Appears in Search Results
How often have you search for “Streets” and seen the following?
At 10.4, organizations can hide from search results all language content not relevant to their organization.
Provides the added benefit of removing default Portal items that have external URLs that are inaccessible in disconnected environments.

13. Updating which Language Content Appears in Search Results
Use Portal Administrator API to update

14. Licensing ArcGIS Pro with Portal for ArcGIS
ArcGIS Pro is licensed with Portal for ArcGIS + ArcGIS License Manager
Setup:
In ArcGIS License Manager,
Configure with license file (.lic) → obtained from My.Esri.com
Generate a Portal configuration file (.json) from license file
In Portal Administrator Directory,
Import Portal configuration file
Use Portal to manage ArcGIS Pro licenses to Named Users
New controls available on My Organization page

15. Ancillary Considerations

16. Setting up SSL Certificates and Trusts
Server Certificates and Trust Stores
Typically, disconnected environments are done for security reasons.
Most of these organizations have strict SSL requirements that must be adhered to for compliance.
Many of these environments have Certificate Authorities for signing server certificates for server identification and issuing user certificates for client identification (i.e. Public Key Infrastructure).
There are a number of adjustments needed to configure Portal and ArcGIS Server to work properly in these types of environments.

17. Setting up SSL Certificates and Trusts
Server Certificates and Trust Stores
Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Server install self-signed certificates to support ports and 6443, respectively.
Consuming services from self-signed certificates is highly discouraged.
To overcome this, install separate Web Adaptors for Portal and ArcGIS Server and SSL-enable your web server.
Users only communicate with Web Server over 443.
CA Signed
SSL Certificate
6443
ArcGIS
Server
/server
/portal
Portal for

18. Setting up SSL Certificates and Trusts
Updating Server Certificates
Some organizations take this a step further, mandating that no HTTP(S) ports serve content without using a properly signed server certificate. Users must update the self-signed certificates with CA signed certificates.
Portal Administrator Directory provides tools to generate a new Certificate Signing Request and ability to import Intermediate or Root certificates for trust.
ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory provides a near identical interface.

19. Web Application Template Downloads
Update JSAPI Links
If you download Web Application Template to host on your own web server, the source code links point to http(s)://js.arcgis.com.
Update links to on-premises installation of the Esri JS API.
Point to your Portal in config files
Publish/Preview of Web Application Templates within Portal work as-is, since Portal deploys with its own internal version of the JSAPI.
A couple have links to Elevation Services that will need to be updated also.

20. Web Application Template Downloads
Example Update

21. Deploying Esri JSAPI On-Premises
Portal comes with JSAPI 3.15 – Use this as needed
3.17 and 4.0 just released!
Download from
Download the API and the SDK (i.e. Documentation)
Deploy to your own web server following the Help Documentation
Use
Update links in Web Application Templates
On-premises JSAPI web development
ArcGIS Server REST Handlers

23. Setting your own Elevation Image Service for Scene Viewer
In order to use Scene Viewer in disconnected environments, an organization must make available an Elevation Service.
Must be configured a particular way:
Image Service
Cached using LERC tiling format
Tiling schema must match ArcGIS Online tiling schema
Update via the Sharing API
Different setting than the Utility Elevation Service

24. Additional Components

25. Operations Dashboard Deployment Utility (10.4.x)
Enable ability to download/open Windows client from Portal
Step 1 - Preparations
Download and extract deployment utility from “My Esri”
Have security certificate ready
Know your Portal URL
Have write access to Portal’s \apps\dashboard-win folder
Step 2 – Run deployment utility
Step 3 – Deploy to Portal
Copy output folder from step 2 to Portal’s \apps\dashboard-win folder
Create an application item of Operations Dashboard

26. ArcGIS Maps for Office with a Disconnected Portal
For disconnected Portal deployments, requires resource files
Separate download, need to install on Portal machine
